Correct Answer: the acceleration due to gravity is smaller than that on the earth


Solution : The correct option is - the acceleration due to gravity is smaller than that on the earth

The gravity of the Earth is six times stronger than that of the moon. This shows that the moon has a smaller gravitational pull than the earth. Therefore, a person's weight on the moon is also 1/6th as compared on the earth's surface. As a result, one can jump higher on the moon than on earth.
